How I Got This Shot: I had to drive to Asheville on Sunday October 27, 2019 so I decided to take the Parkway from Boone. The leaves where in their peak and I wanted to take advantage while I could. I made the decision that since I had a deadline to meet someone I would stop at all the tunnels on my way down and see what I could get. After I exited the Little Switzerland Tunnel, I pulled off the road and parked. I had to wait several minutes to wait for traffic to clear so I could get a clear shot. I must have taken at least 50 different photos at 5 different angles at this tunnel. This particular shot was my favorite of them all.

How I Got This Shot: Photographed about an hour before sunrise, so it was still dark enough to capture many stars in the sky. I wanted an interesting yet unique shot of one of the many tunnels on the parkway. I was able to find one that I could frame with the night sky.
